Audi R8 Spare Tire

The Audi R8, a hallmark of engineering precision and aesthetic design, does not typically come equipped with a conventional spare tire due to its focus on performance, weight reduction, and space utilization in the design philosophy that prioritizes a mid-engine layout and handling prowess. Instead, Audi offers a tire repair kit as standard, aiming to address minor tire damage scenarios on the go. However, for enthusiasts or drivers looking for an added layer of preparation, aftermarket solutions do exist, though they are not one-size-fits-all due to the R8's unique specifications including its tire sizes and the limited storage space. Typically, compact emergency spare tire kits designed for mid-engine or performance cars can be adapted to fit within an Audi R8's limited storage areas, though it's crucial to ensure compatibility in terms of size, load capacity, and clearance dimensions. For an Audi R8, significant attention must be paid to the diameter and width of the spare tire to avoid any interference with the vehicle's sophisticated braking systems and to ensure it can be accommodated without disrupting weight distribution or performance characteristics.

Audi R8 models manufactured from 2008 to 2023 have tires with overall diameter ranging from 25.5" to 25.8", allowing the use of a temporary spare tire with a near same diameter as the OEM tire. Tire diameter and wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Audi R8 years and trims.

Listed below are compact spare tire sizes that can fit some Audi R8 vehicles based on acceptable tire diameter range of 24.7" to 26.6". Some R8 models may require the use of a traditional full-size tire as a spare. To ensure safe temporary mobility in case of a road emergency, always refer to the vehicle owner's manual for the correct Audi R8 spare tire size designated by vehicle's manufacturer.
